I am not a fan of Artur Osipyan, but he fought against corruption in Artsakh. Daniel Ionnisyan

Daniel Ionnisyan writes: "I am not a fan of Artur Osipyan, but he fought against corruption in Artsakh. There is no hooliganism or other crime in Artur Osipyan's actions. Artur Osipyan voiced political criticism of the candidate Nikol Pashinyan, in response to which he received personal, degrading expressions, up to the wording: "Go, die...". It is very worrying that the reaction of the law enforcement officers did not follow a proportionate and impartial assessment of the entire incident, but only the deprivation of liberty against Osipyan. to the application of the measure. Meanwhile, during the same incident, no adequate visible actions were taken against other persons who apparently behaved aggressively and uttered offensive words, including the supporters of the ruling political force. These circumstances create a legitimate doubt that the action applied to Osipyan could be due to his sharp political criticism directed at the Prime Minister. For this reason, the law enforcement agencies are obliged to provide an immediate public clarification on the factual basis on which Osipyan was arrested, whether the actions of the other participants in the incident were evaluated, and why the same or equivalent measures were not applied to them. Taking into account the above, the Independent Observer alliance demands the immediate lifting of the restriction of Artur Osipyan's freedom, and the competent authorities should issue a public apology if it turns out that the intervention against him was disproportionate, selective or due to political criticism."
